ICI Mobile Application

Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) is a secure, scalable and integrated platform for contract lifecycle management. It transforms contracts into strategic business assets, giving global enterprises powerful new capabilities to increase compliance, improve governance, enhance user productivity, control costs, maximize ROI and mitigate risks. 
ICI is available both as a Cloud (Web) offering and a Mobile application. The mobile version in an innovative, easy-to-use, and convenient platform that provides a subset of the features available on the Cloud platform. It allows you to quickly and easily access Agreements, Requests, Tasks and Commitments that you are authorized to view and perform key actions on them. You can approve or reject Agreements/Requests, or delegate tasks, anytime, anywhere from your mobile devices.

Prerequisites to Using the ICI Mobile Application

The ICI Mobile application must be configured at the backend by Icertis before you can begin using it. If you have any issues logging in, please contact Icertis Customer Success.
To install the ICI Mobile Application, your mobile device must meet the following minimum requirements:

• Android: Android 6.0 or later. The mobile application is not supported on custom Android operating systems.
• iPhone: iOS 13.0 or later.

ICI Mobile App Management support using Microsoft Intune

ICI has extended support for Microsoft Intune in Mobile Application Management (MAM). 
ICI employees, customers and partners use mobile devices for personal and professional tasks. While ensuring productivity, Icertis also wants to prevent data loss, both - intentional and unintentional. The MAM app protection policies allow users to manage and protect their organization's data within an application.

The ICI Mobile App which is available in the App/Play Store is ready to use for app protection policies but not for app configuration policies.

Microsoft Intune is a scalable cloud service architecture that leverages cloud for insights and baselines for our security policies and configuration settings. It helps safeguard data that is not managed by ICI and used by employees, customers or partners to access work files.

The key benefits of making ICI MS Intune-compatible include: 

• Protecting company data at the App level, for both – managed and unmanaged devices, as the management is based on user identity.
• Ensuring App layer protections are in place. For example: 

              o    Entering a pin to open the App in work context
              o    Controlling the sharing of data between Apps
              o    Preventing the saving of company App data to a personal storage location

• Supporting Mobile Device Management (MDM) in addition to MAM ensuring device protection and control over App management. For example:

              o    Entering a pin to access the device
              o    Deploying managed apps to the device
              o    Deploying apps to devices through your MDM solution

• Using app protection policies, with or without MDM, at the same time. For example, you may choose to use a company issued phone with both – MDM and App protection policies, whereas, a personal phone may be protected by only the App protection policies.
• Applying a MAM policy to the user without setting the device state. The user will get the MAM policy on both - the BYOD (bring-your-own-devices) and the Intune-managed device. You can also apply the MAM policy based on the managed state.

Administrators can configure the ICI Mobile app as a managed app using Intune configuration policies. 
To avail the benefits of Intune MAM settings, users will have to download the ICI app from the Intune store set by the ICI Administrator and set company portal policies on their mobile phones.

Administrators can now:

• Enroll the device in Microsoft Intune.
• Configure the access privileges for users and user groups for ICI Mobile App using Microsoft Intune policies.
• Pre-configure the system URL so that users do not need to enter it every time.
• Manage and protect organization's data within an application.

Refer to the ICI Mobile App Management support using Microsoft Intune configuration guide for details.
